People with mental illness have
increased risk behaviors for cancer such as smoking and lack of
physical activity; however, they are less likely to receive cancer
screening than persons without mental illness. Many people with
mental illness receive outpatient mental health care at community
mental health centers, some of which also offer screening for
chronic conditions. This study will examine the capacities of
community mental health centers to provide cancer prevention
services, which is not well understood., and will assess barriers
and facilitators to providing cancer prevention services at
community mental health centers (CMHCS) in the United States. The
study will conduct two surveys of psychiatric clinicians and
administrators at selected facilities. Findings will be
disseminated to target audiences such as National Comprehensive
Cancer Control Program grantees and their state/local partners,
other cancer prevention and control entities, and CMHC staff to
help inform strategies that reduce cancer risk factors and improve
cancer screening among persons with mental illness.
